Plans change. That is a hard truth that we tend to struggle with, or at least I do. I have had an outline for the book that I’m writing for 4 or 5 years. I finally get it all written. I am excited. I start going through it all to clean up all the mistakes… Read More »
Peer Pressure
March 15th 1986 is a “Red Letter” day in my history time line. Two very important things happened for me that day. First, I met Lori, and there is no question that God placed her in my life for my betterment. Second, that was the last time I have ever been drunk. Prior to that,… Read More »
Vices
They tell me that it’s not uncommon at my age to have to get up in the middle of the night. Evidence that I’m getting old. The problem is, I have an unhealthy addiction: 4 suited spider solitaire. I’ll get up anywhere between 2:00-4:00 am, and I’ll sit at the table and play my game.… Read More »
Missions
Lori and I spent the last 5 days (Thursday-Monday) on the road, staying in 3 different states. I officiated a wedding in Ohio, and went to a wake in Iowa. Needless to say, we are worn out and looking forward to a night in our own bed, but the whole time from Ohio to Iowa,… Read More »
Opportunity
In August 1996, I was working as a machine hand for small factory called Excel. I loved my job, and in another year or so, I was going to get on the “Tool and Die Apprenticeship Program”. We had 3 martial arts studios at that time, and in my mind, things were going great. Until… Read More »
The Influence of a Godly Man
Last week I was given the opportunity to teach a break out session for the Campers on Mission National Rally in Amana Iowa. The information was received well, so I thought putting it into my 50th blog might be beneficial to all. My topic was “The Influence of a Godly Man” which has dropped drastically… Read More »
The Joy of Purpose
Purpose is a wonderful thing, and that is one of the concepts that I’m seeing around me this week. Lori and I are at the National Campers on Mission rally in Amana Iowa right now and it’s enjoyable to talk to all of these people that God is using for His glory and hear about… Read More »
Abortion
Abortion is a “hot button” word in our world today. It doesn’t matter what a person believes about it, when they hear the word, their feelings get stirred. Last week we looked at the conviction of Clive Johnston, for “influencing” because he was playing his ukulele and reading John 3:16, around 300 feet from a… Read More »
Defiance or Obedience
I asked a question in a blog a few weeks back, about what I would do if my government or denomination forced me to accept things that I felt were against the clear teaching of God’s Word. I answered that I would resign. That answers the denomination side of things, but that really doesn’t address… Read More »
What’s Your Purpose?
I was inspired to write this blog based on a discussion in Sunday School yesterday. How many of you remember the bumper sticker “God is my co-pilot”? I mentioned that God should be in the driver’s seat, if he’s your co-pilot, you’re doing it wrong. Basically, you’re still trying to be in charge, and we… Read More »
